That's a fair point, but still, it's AEW giving attention to a big WWE star (who has enough attention) and Punk's version and the video version don't radically differ.


His management of the...

Problem is that Punk doesn't really deny he attacked Perry. Punk seems to (incorrectly) deny the wrongness of actions, essentially saying restrained himself admirably (despite admitting "choking"...

Not a Gaga fan, but I loved the first film, loved Phoenix and Todd Philips, so this all looks promising.

Probably the best reaction comment I read about AEW's Punk/Perry footage:
...

Yeah, and really it's more a Joaquin Phoenix film (and Todd Phillips film) more than anything now, more than Joker or Batman or etc IMHO, at least for me. Joaquin & Todd are the engine making this...

I tell my friends that while I love the first film, it's not because I love it as a Joker or Batman-related film. And so at this point, I'm sold on this, and I don't really much hardly view it as a...

Of course the other outcome is nothing because Tony doesn't show Punk moments at all. This could be a bait & switch, feels like one even. Because FTR/Bucks is happening again soon here and last...

Exactly. “This is real-life footage that affected many people, and it will air for the first time on TBS during Dynamite.”

So a Tony Khan bait and switch (which Tony denied to SI) where later Tony will claim his clear bait and switch wasn't in fact a bait and switch because he showed YB/FTR footage? :cool:

Part of the reason it's most interesting is that: I don't know this helps AEW either. :cool:

Shameless revenge-driven ratings-grab attempt? Most interesting if that's the only motivation, an...

I hadn't watched a FULL mania live since WM XX (2004), which I attended, and I was stunned at the all the annoying ads. Stunned. So sad. So different from the first 20 or so years of Mania.

I loved Joker and agree that those 2 films heavily inspired it. Going for Scorcese worked and I couldn't believe it. Took from those, felt like Scorcese, but was cleverly different enough, just a...

Yeah, I'm excited. I suspect I will like this far more than House of the Dragon, partly since Dunk & Egg stories aren't like Fire & Blood, aren't history books filled with deep uncertainty (as to...

The use of music in the first film was one of the keys to making that first film work, so, despite not being much of a musical type fan, I'm keeping an open mind. I have to trust Todd for now.

Definitely the only sequel that might be Top Gun Maverick level (meaning a modern sequel that's actually good). We'll see.

Good promotional material. I'm hoping this season is far better than Season 1, which underwhelmed me a ton. Fire & Blood is I think my favorite GRRM book and paints a more nuanced mysterious deeply...

This brief (and nonspoilery) review excerpt sums up my thoughts on the GB state of the film franchise:
...

I think many film buffs might disagree and think you're underselling the role many other Nolan works before, during, and after Batman played in this win for Nolan. Not sure any "comic book films"...

Yeah, I tend to view The Mad Monk as Batman's first main encounter with the supernatural. Monster Men, Mad Monk by Matt Wagner are my canon telling for those (especially because they work well with...

I disagree. You were supposed to be annoyed with Heenan, Ventura, and Lawler, and all heel commentators since they routinely don't support fair impartial competitiveness. And in Lawler's case, he...

Yeah, the interplay or interaction is key. Heenan had Gorilla or Vince or whoever. Ventura had Vince (or maybe Gorilla at times). JR made Lawler better. That is key to accentuating the heel...

I really deeply hope and pray we get more. And I'm still upset DC isn't doing Golden Age Capt Marvel and I have emails supporting that they are not opposed to perhaps doing those.

No, I disagree. Lawler had lesser years for sure, but in his prime, say like 1998 to [insert endpoint], Lawler was fantastic as a heel commentator. He did magnificent work with Austin vs Vince. ...

Nigel is doing good. He's no Heenan, it's apparent that no one can quite heel commentate like Heenan or Ventura or Lawler, but Nigel is doing great. I live for good heel commentary, because Heenan...
